PRESS RELEASE: SAFW Renault New Talent Search 2013

The SAFW Renault New
Talent Search returns to the country’s prima fashion event, the
legendary SA Fashion Week (SAFW), for a second year running. The 2013
partnership has kicked-off and the competition is open to entries from
interested parties. The competition is open to designers who are working
towards establishing themselves and/or their brands in the South African
fashion industry.

The
SAFW Renault New Talent Search is a unique concept that has been created
by Fashion icons Lucilla Booyzen and Dion Chang to give young design the opportunity
to build their brands and develop their talent.

“The SAFW Renault New Talent Search is one of the most
established and prestigious fashion talent searches in South Africa. It is an
annual competition that not only identifies South Africa’s hottest design
talent, but also provides the winning designer with a springboard (and
therefore competitive business advantage) into SA’s vibrant fashion arena.” -
Dion Chang

“Renault
South Africa’s brand vision is 100 per cent people-centric with aspiration, ambition,
sustainability and growth, its cornerstones. The path between the present and a
better future is dependent upon the progress that we make and at Renault, we
aim to pioneer and lead the race towards positive people- and enviro-friendly
progress. Design is an integral element of the Renault brand. It speaks to
innovation, passion and technical savvy and never more so than with the launch
of flagship products representing Renault’s Chief Designer, Laurens van den
Acker’s, “new face of Renault” - Fabien Payzan, Vice-President of Marketing for
Renault South Africa.

“Progress should not come at a cost and through
our self-imposed social responsibility objectives we strive to be as true as we
possibly can to this philosophy. Our vision is to support emerging talent
wherever and however possible. It is young South Africans such as the Zano and
his peers who will Drive the Change in and ensure the sustainability of
South Africa’s fashion industry in years to come”, concludes Payzan.

People-friendly
progress is what the SAFW Renault New Talent Search is all about, and with
the creation of this innovative and exciting new platform, Renault South Africa
is delighted to be taking a meaningful step towards turning the vision of young
South African fashion designers into a positive reality.
